Bar Back

(album: Getting Over Him - 2020)

You can have that coffee shop we went on our first date
You can have that Waffle House right off the interstate
When we'd sober up under fluorescent lights
I'll miss Ms. Linda but hey, that's alright

I'll give you back that sweatshirt, the one that I love
And you can keep our favorite song 'Like Jesus Does'
And that 8th Avenue, Sunday 9am service
You can have all that, I'll even change churches but

I'm taking back that little hole in the wall
The red door sign saying come on in y'all
The Deep Eddie shots, the bartender Nick
The smokey patio with all my rowdy friends
You can have any bar that you want
But not this one
In midtown, find a new place to hang out
Better not see you around again
'Cause I'm taking my bar back

I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back

Let's make a deal, boy, it's in your best interest
Let's shake on it now 'cause you don't wanna witness
Me moving on and the way I might do it
Might be a kiss, might be a shot, don't even set foot in the parking lot, now

I'm taking back that little hole in the wall
The red door sign saying come on in y'all
The Deep Eddie shots, the bartender Nick
The smokey patio with all my rowdy friends
You can have any bar that you want
But not this one
In midtown, find a new place to hang out
Better not see you around again
'Cause I'm taking my bar back

I've been going in there since before I ever met you
There ain't nowhere else I'd rather go out and forget you
You know it's only fair, you let me call it mine
You can have everywhere but this is where I draw the line

I'm taking back that little hole in the wall
The red door sign saying come on in y'all
The Deep Eddie shots, the bartender Nick
The smokey patio with all my rowdy friends
You can have any bar that you want
But not this one
In midtown, find a new place to hang out
Better not see you around again
'Cause I'm taking my bar back

I'm taking it back
You know I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back
I'm taking my bar back
